Because as a business owner you recognize the benefit of not having to invest in IT administration overhead?
So let me get this straight.. I leave myself at the mercy of google in order to save the cost of IT administration? That doesn't sound like a good business decision.
Because as a business owner, you recognize that Google is investing in your business by seeding your startup costs?
Startup costs? You can't be serious, both hardware and bandwidth are dirt cheap, in college (2000) between my four friends and I, we were able to start my first business using pocket money we earned from odd jobs. This is a VERY weak arguement.
Because as a software developer you recognize that leveraging the tools Google is offering (and will be adding to over time) will speed your time to delivery?
I'd love an explanation on how this would speed up my time to delivery? I took a look at the video and read the article and it does nothing that I can't already do myself to speed up time to delivery other than have hardware resources readily available. But once again I leave myself at the mercy of Google for access hardware and bandwidth. Thanks but no thanks. I'm trying to figure out how anyone can claim Google's Central/Mainframe Engine using Python is somehow something new. Is it that IBM and Akamai being some dream solution is somehow a new concept that must be embraced because it's Python?
Startup costs are salaries, materials, equipment, medical benefits, etc., and the least cost is buying servers and having them hosted inside of Akamai's datacenters for a tier fee structure, based upon need.
Google is realizing that it needs new ideas to sustain it's wildly overpriced stock.
This is just a twist on old ideas and having it centrally controlled by Google is most certainly a bad one for Consumers, but fantastic for Google.
Jesus. Drama Queen much? A piece of beta software exploded. It will be fixed in days if not hours. It's probably fixed by the time you posted your whiny rant. So dry your tears, Princess, and turn down the hyperbole a little. I concur with your observation. I will add that any iPhone Developer that hasn't his/her own separate iPhone for general use and an iPhone for development puts into question how serious they are about selling a product on the iPhone platform.
Which means frankly, that MS is going to own Yahoo.
I don't know if this is good or bad, but time will tell... The shareholders hear only the sounds that money makes, and they are going to sell out quickly, especially in the midst of this recession.
Fortunately, for Yahoo shareholders Microsoft's stock is so diluted and volumetrically reached a point of saturation [they really should have taken Jackson's ruling and split into 4 separate corporations] that the upside of stock price potential is virtually within +/- 10 ticker points.
If Yahoo shareholders are looking for a solid Dividend Stock they'd already own Microsoft. They are looking for a ROI that has a large upside and Yahoo has that leverage.
Apple probably buys around 10 percent of all laptop chips that Intel produces, and mostly goes for the more expensive ones, so I would estimate about 20 percent of dollar revenue.
I notice you've tried to sneak in the adjective "laptop" in there. I think it would be erring on your side to suggest that no more than half the chips Intel produces are for laptops, the remaining being for desktop and servers. If your figures are correct (which I seriously doubt), then that puts Apple down to buying a maximum of 5% of Intels overall chip production. (Even then, whilst I accept there are possibly a higher proportion of Apple users in the US, that is not the case here in Europe where Apple's penetration for computers is very low.)
And they don't buy any of the $50 low end chips that end up in your $399 PC.
Except that you're now (presumably) talking about $399 PCs in general, not just laptops - I detect some serious massaging of figures now on your part.
However, if you're talking about $399 (or in my case £399) laptops, then I call BS on you. Sure, a lot of home users buy a cheap laptop as a second home machine but the biggest buyers of laptops are corporates who do not buy the cheapest machines. Therefore, by supposition, higher grade chips also go into Dell's, HP's, Lenovo's, etc. mid- to high- end laptops which, because there are more of those than there are Macs sold, puts Apple into a much smaller minority than you are claiming.
So please do not exaggerate the Mac's penetration (outside of the US at least) - there really are not that many of them about.
As I've said previously on Slashdot, having spent 25+ years as a technical person in telecomms and IT travelling quite regularly around Europe and parts of the Middle East, I have seen a total of 3 Mac machines ever - one was an American tutor on a course I did, one was a student posing in the local Starbucks with one, and a friend of mine has a surplus Mac given to him by his boss that he has no idea what to do with and is still in the box.
My original comment stands. Having friends from both Intel and Apple I know the close relationship that has developed and the cross-pollenation of technical knowledge benefits both companies. However, with the upcoming products Apple has in the pipeline, their impressive market gains in several market spaces and upcoming markets it's clear that Intel would lose several Billion dollars of future revenue by having Apple leave.
Let me also point out the stagnation of the Intel stock that benefits from it's highly public relationship with Apple. Without Apple they are paired with the rest of the PC world as just the leader CPU provider--something it's trying to expand far beyond with and not the business they want to be solely betting on.
Actually - and I attribute this to good ol' BK - GCC *could* make the problem go away, by recognizing when it is compiling the kernel, and inserting the code itself.
Just sayin'.
Read this -- http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html That's a workaround and covers the short-coming of the kernel. I agree with providing the workaround while the kernel gets fixed.
You're being intentionally dense, correct? I suggest you write 2 separate apps. One for altruistic reasons and the other to keep your finances justified in continuing your altruistic reasons
I got the gist of your whole message and countered it by saying that if IE8 beta also has such a buzz, it means that there's a lot of bored techies at work checking out new tech stuff coming out rather than being a concrete indicator of being any 'success'. Also, when I tried reaching developer.apple.com after seeing your post, it worked fine for me(in Opera).
Try this one for size. IE 8 is a free product. Apple is making money on expanding it's developer tools [freely available] to a new platform. If you're interested in developing you will sign up an register for this new platform. Apple then will garner revnue by certifying your application(s) for a nominal fee, host your application for downloading [depending on how popular your application(s) become(s) your either $99 or $299 [depending on your market] fee will be a smart investment and by allowing you to set the price you will learn valuable Supply/Demand business experience.
Meanwhile, that free IE 8 is there to convince people to use Microsoft, yet we've seen the results time and time again. You never get anything free from Microsoft. In the end, you pay and the investment is far reaching. The Apple middle approach between closed and open source gives you flexibility. Meanwhile, Apple is serving their consumers on their platforms well, while providing robust and free tools to encourage third parties to expand the platform by offering their own innovations.
If the bandwidth throttling says anything, it says that Akamai who has enormous pipes has seen their servers flooded due to interest for this new platform. That's a win for Apple.
Don't write them. I'm not interested in your Quality of Service guarantees when your app breaks or has backdoors that allow nasty viral apps to slip through. Are you going to enjoy being in court?
I suggest you write a shareware application to subsidize your obsession with free app writing. It will help pay your bills and also show you can work in both market spaces.
You people truly should try working at Apple with how NeXT develops their APIs. It hasn't changed. When at NeXT we had people testing pre-release bits they would often want to try stuff that would break and this is good. We didn't give them untested PrivateFrameworks without sanitizing them for several release cycles and then we staggered the testing on a priority basis. This isn't a conspiracy folks ala Microsoft trying to shut a free browser out of the market.
Now that Mozilla realizes it has to follow the approach Safari/WebKit is doing in several embedded markets they are complaining when they switch to Cocoa?
I tell you what. Actually release a Pure Cocoa App for Firefox and then we'll talk. Show me you have managed to clean up those famous memory object retain/release [ObjC lingo] bugs that turn your browser into a memory hog and then we'll talk.
And while you're at it, contact Xorg and help them figure the same issue out because Xorg 7.3.x on Debian turns into a memory hog > 1GB after one has roughly 20-25 intensive window views whether it's via GTK+/GNOME or KDE or Qt specific apps.
So a gutless coward labels me as a Troll? F*** Y**. Wolfram if he values himself should do the world a favor and do something for Science that progresses the system forward. AJAX? Give me a f***ing break. If Javascript was so f***ing cool then why did we spit on it for years when Netscape tried to make it cool?
that they flamed me! A bunch of morons flaming someone who points out another lawyer [working at Stanford along side another tool --Dr. Rice] and we are supposed to think this guy is some sort of Ralph Nader? It's no wonder we have so many problems. When you think a university's endowment of over $17 Billion houses leaders who have your best interest then you've never worked in any damn industry. The man created the Creative Commons legal structure. Great! It may be new to today's youth but it's not earth shattering.
He signed an NDA and whatever they agree to, behind the scenes, on whether they will be Objective or Subjective driven News starts and ends at the workplace. His Op-Ed rants about US leadership is protected under Free Speech and they are justified in wanting to challenge him on violating their NDA which already hangles in the balance to a Free Press and that Free Speech itself having very clearly defined boundaries, by legal precedence.
Another example, would be you worked for Microsoft, Apple, IBM, Intel, etc., and you spent your free time bashing people in the Industry. With research we discover that this guy works for an important business partner [Say you work for Apple and you're there bashing Intel] and the more visibility this person has the more it poses a financial risk to the company.
Your Free Speech will be protected. You'll just be able to do it from the bedroom of your house without getting paid.
Just to play devil's advocate: We don't see the vast majority of the Wavelengths in the Universe. We know they exist because we devised a means of measuring their signal-to-noise ratio and much more.
If I phase in and out of the range of human perception, am I a ghost? Or am I shifting between time phases resulting in different lines of a multiverse?
Two GPUs on a single card? Who the hell needs that kind of power? Besides, don't modern graphics cards waste ridiculous amounts of energy even when they're simply drawing your desktop?
For those who haven't been following the recent releases of ATI graphics cards, it's probably interesting to note that the AI HD2850 and HD2870 use only 20 Watt when idling (most low-end cards use at least 30W nowadays, and high-end cards are often closer to 100W).
So that should mean that this new card should eat about 40W when idling, making this card not just the most powerful graphics card today, but also less wasteful than nVidia's 8800GT. Not a bad choice if you're in dire need of more graphics power. Although personally I'm planning to buy a simple 3850. Raises Hand. Who needs this kind of power? Ever done any Solid Modeling? Real-time rendering? Engineering computations that can be off-loaded onto a GPU that can do massive floating point calculations? As a Mechanical Engineer I want to be able to do this without buying a $3k FireGL card or competing card from nVidia and I also want to be able to deal with Multimedia compression and other aspects that those cards aren't designed to solve.

Nokia Buys Trolltech
·
· Score: 1
I find it interesting that Trolltech makes big headways for WebKit [Nokia uses it as well] and then has a target release for Cocoa Qt in 4.5 and suddenly Nokia buys them out? Is it just me or is Nokia hoping to have the toolkits necessary to keep current with the iPhone SDK and WebKit?
I also see this in the strategic sense that Trolltech has many important clients, not the least of which is Adobe. Having this 64 bit Qt Cocoa allows Adobe an option. Port the rest to Qt and leverage Cocoa or go directly to Cocoa via Apple.
It seems for all of Trolltech's coding prowess they don't value their toolkits and clients that much. BEA WebLogic gets $8.5 Billion? MySQL gets the $1 Billion and stupid MySpace gets over $2 Billion for a circle jerk, spam laced, porn pimping website full of boring people. How embarrassing.

Sorry, but if they want to claim Magenta, then NeXT can claim Magenta all over it's ass.
